Who's Toofast?

I’ve had a number of climbing companions over the years, but the one that this work is named for was my crag dog.
I found Toofast along a freeway while returning from a climbing trip in New River
Gorge in 1999.
It didn’t take long before I realized I had stumbled on a remarkable animal. A
couple of trips to the vet and a month or two later she was healthy enough to go
climbing. She instantly adapted to the crags and rode along for 1,600 climbing
days during her long and fun life. Toofast became well known for her friendly demeanor
and natural talent for climbing. In 2008, when I discovered my enjoyment
for drawing topos, I humorously started crediting them to her. The idea stuck and
Toofast Topos was born.
